As football fans gear up for Super Bowl LIII, companies brace for feedback on commercials to air tonight on NBC. Be rest assured the companies viewers will see flash across their screen of choice, will be companies who have shoveled out a nice piece of change.

Some companies choose to go the light, comical route, others, thrive in deep rooted messages. With knowledge on how expensive air-time can be, it is a refreshing thought that a company would choose the controversial route and support the fight toward hard hitting subjects like gender equality. As for commercials during Super Bowl 53, we'll all have to wait until 6:30 tonight to witness the action. Come back for updates on FEM's favorite 2019 commercials!

Que the fan girl/guy shrieks of excitement. A film script for Princess Diaries 3 exists; Oscar winning, lead actress of the 2001 and 2004 Princess Diaries films, star Ann Hathaway has confirmed she and others are "working on it".

Often times, movie sequels can be hit or miss, given factors such as: is the core cast still the same, is is really a sequel or a prequel? Most the original cast is on board to give the film the green light, including the great Julie Andrews. Hathaway also says their producer, Debra Martin Chase, wants to make things happen, but she and the cast want to be careful not to rush it:

“It’s just we don’t want to unless it’s perfect, because we love it just as much as you guys love it. It’s as important to us as it is to you, and we don’t want to deliver anything until it’s ready, but we’re working on it, so...” - Anne Hathaway - Watch what Happens 2019

​ Hopefully it will be worth the wait. Author of Princess Diaries, Meg Cabot, explained to Entertainment Weekly, says if anything, Princess Diaries 3 would be a tribute to the late Garry Marshall, director of the first two Princess diaries. Though Cabot has not confirmed any plots or story lines, however, there is interest in making it “kind of a tribute” to Marshall. If memory does not serve well, viewers can re-watch The Princess Diaries and Princess Diaries 2: A Royal Engagement on Amazon Prime movies. The films do not appear to be on Netflix. This comes at no surprise, as Disney is a big Netflix competitor. That is certainly a conversation for another day. FEM will keep updates on The Princess Diaries series and post accordingly. Until then, keep your crowns polished.

After running into a psychic ,played by Erykah Badu, a cup a tea, and a freak accident, Henson (Ali Davis) can hear whatever men are thinking. Ali Davis works at a large law firm, and is desperate trying to make partner. According to her superior she has too much trouble "connecting with men". Her attempt to understand men better went awry, but eventually works in her favor. The trailer shows Ali Davis embracing her mind reading blessing and using it in her favor. As a refresher, there doesn't seem to be any love interest and she is not some damsel in distress.

​In the 2000 film, What Women Want, pre-Passion of Christ , Mel Gibson, begins as a big shot at his company. He is an out of touch, divorced, father of a teenage daughter, and a womanizer. In his attempt to understand women, he tries an assortment of beauty products and ends up getting shocked by a hair dryer in his bath tub. He magically develops the ability to hear women's thoughts. The gift does not last forever, but he eventually learns the error of his way, finds love and reconnects with his daughter. The trailer What Men Want shines a beacon of hope, that the plot and ending will be modern and free of cheesiness. What Men Want is set to hit theaters January 11, 2019.

As director of the September cover, Beyonce hand picked Mitchell, 23, an up and coming photographer to shoot her cover. Over the past week, Mitchell has gained thousands of followers and has received a massive amount of praise from the creative and community. Beyonce gave an extensive interview to Vogue, that held such meaning, especially to the black community:

"When I first started, 21 years ago, I was told that it was hard for me to get onto covers of magazines because black people did not sell,...Until there is a mosaic of perspectives coming from different ethnicities behind the lense, we will continue to have a narrow approach and view of what the world actually looks like. That is why I wanted to work with this brilliant 23-year-old photographer Tyler Mitchell," Beyoncé - (Vogue 2018)

Mitchell was also featured on Vogue around the same time the September issue was released. In the article, Mitchell spoke about his first camera (Digital SLR Canon), his start in film making. He is now among some of the youngest photographers to work with Vogue in decades, but he is well aware of the impact of the history he has created:

​“For so long, black people have been considered things,” he adds. “We’ve been thingified physically, sexually, emotionally. With my work I’m looking to revitalize and elevate the black body.”

Since the cover, Mitchell posted most of the photos from Vogue on his Instagram account, and also announce a casting call for a video project he is working on call "A Boy Who Eats Cake". View Tyler Mitchell's full portfolio on his website.

September is panning out to be a month of making editorial history: Rihanna becomes the first black woman to grace the cover of British Vogue in the magazine's 102 years of publication. Per usual, Rihanna provides a healthy serving of casual bad girl couture, and sports pencil-thin eyebrows and a botanical headpiece.

The 400-page September issue typically features and sets the tone for fashion for the upcoming season. This year Rihanna posed in her own contribution to fashion, "Fenty Beauty". Rihanna is not the only one making history, reports say that Beyonce has assumed most of the control for the Vogue's September issue. (See Below)

Beyonce is reportedly running the show for Vogue US with the permission of highly respected Vogue Editor-In-Chief, Anna Wintour. Though it has not been confirmed by Queen Bey herself, and the September issue has not been released, Huff Po reports that Vogue will be utilizing their first black photographer this century, Tyler Mitchell. Mitchel has credits with Teen Vogue, Dazed, and as his website reflects, VOGUE US.

Lock the door and park it on the couch to binge watch something on Netflix tonight. Season 6 of Orange is the New Black will come available to stream Thursday.

Unfortunately, if you're behind on the show I would suggest starting from the beginning to get the fully loaded back story. Last season, staff and prisoners alike were savagely exposed while others were killed during the Litchfield prison riot. The final episode of season 6 marks the third day of the riot. All the girls are extracted from the prison during a raid and separated to different prisons. Before that, things got real:

Left to right: Boo( Lea DeLaria) Piper(Taylor Schilling) Alex (Laura Prepon ) - a few prisoners are taken hostage by a former Litchfield guard.

Towards the end of the last episode, there are still many unanswered questions. A few the the main characters have hunkered down in an old swimming pool hidden deep in the prison. Viewers are left with the death of a former guard, explosions, and uncertainties of where Piper Chapman and her new friends will end up next. Season 6 will contain thirteen episodes of full on action and drama.

Musical artist and community activist, Chance the Rapper speaks out against bias in the press and online dissenters of his personal life in his newly released track, "I Might Need Security". Chance caused quite the stir by announcing his purchase of Chicago online news publication, The Chicagoist. ​

"I bought the Chiagoist just to run you racist..[explicit] .out of business" - Chance the Rapper takes a shot at the news outlett, followed by another shot at a 2017 Chicago Sun-Times article about his personal life.

The Chicagoist had been mostly silent since late last year after the owner, Joe Ricketts shut down the outlet, putting a good number of people out of work. Chance did not take very kindly to the news . Chance previously expressed his disdain with the lack of community coverage on areas with majority POC. Nonprofit organization New York Public Radio's President and CEO, Laura Walker admitted there had been a "decline in local journalism" back in February, but it wasn't clear on the future of the site.

"I’m extremely excited to be continuing the work of the Chicagoist, an integral local platform for Chicago news, events and entertainment,” said Chance The Rapper. “WNYC’s commitment to finding homes for the -ist brands, including Chicagoist, was an essential part of continuing the legacy and integrity of the site. I look forward to re-launching it and bringing the people of Chicago an independent media outlet focused on amplifying diverse voices and content - The Gothamist - WNYC

The beat for "I Might Need Security" mostly samples that quite simply puts up a middle finger to whomever fits the shoe. It was not the only song he released Wednesday night. Four new Chance the Rapper songs are now available on most streaming platforms. Each song holds a mostly feel good and carefree vibe. Listen Here

If your best friend disappeared from your town, what measures would you take to find them? In the new film A Simple Favor, docile mom Stephanie Ward stops at nothing to find her missing friend Emily Nelson. The role of Stephanie will be played by Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively will play the mysteriously missing Emily.

Director Paul Feig has been in the film industry since 1989 and started his career as an actor. Feig has directed many comedy films such as Bridesmaids (2011), The Heat (2013), and Ghostbusters (2016). The trailer projects a Gone Girl feeling. Gone Girlwas released in 2014 and starred Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike. Much like the story of A Simple Favor, Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike) mysteriously goes missing and leaves it up to her husband Nick (Ben Affleck) to find her. Although the story lines are different, having some of the same plot twist in A Simple Favor would be definitely worth the watch. ​I also believe that this will be a great opportunity for Pitch Perfect star Anna Kendrick to add thrillers to her film portfolio. We’ve seen her in many dramedies and romance movies such as Twilight (2008-11), Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010), and of course the Pitch Perfect series. Blake Lively got cast in her breakout film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005). She has a pretty good range of genres in her portfolio but it will be exciting to see how well she does in this role.

This film is set to be released September 14, check out the trailer. Will you be anticipating the release of this film or do you think it will be a dud?

Kylie Jenner comes in at No. 27 of 60 of the wealthiest women in America. Photo: Jamel Toppin - Forbes

With #Metoo and gender equality movement running full steam,Kylie Jenner, founder of Kylie Cosmetics, graced the front page of Forbes magazine and was described as "self made". Forbes continues on: “welcome to the era of extreme fame leverage”, indicating awareness of their “self made” pick. While the cover generated overwhelming support, others questioned what the term self made means to Forbes.

Most recognize the phrase as a description of some one who comes from nothing and rises to the top on their own. Ms. Jenner, while undoubtedly dedicated to her brand, came from a ridiculous amount of money and influence. The obvious two, her mother, Kendall Jenner, and sister, Kim Kardashian-West.("Go Fund-Me" to raise money to help Jenner get to 1 billion)

To be clear, Forbes defines “self-made” as someone who built a company or established a fortune on her own, rather than inheriting some or all of it. As long as the list member didn’t inherit a business or money, she is labeled self-made. But the term is very broad, and does not adequately reflect how far some people have come and, relatively speaking, how much easier others have had it. - Forbes explains

"Welcome to the Era of Extreme Fame Leverage"

Forbes explained their scoring system that ranks wealthy Americans 1-10 in terms of "how self made they are". This year, for example, Oprah Winfrey grew up poor and continuously faced hardships came in at number 10 on the scale. Ms. Jenner came in at number seven and just so happened to get the cover of Forbes. Ultimately, the term "self made" describes wealthy Americans from a broad range of backgrounds. No one person is entirely self-made since the world calls for anyone successful to have some sort of support system.

"Don't want to be an American idiot/ Don't want a nation under the new mania" - lyrics from Greenday's "American Idiot" :Photo: NY Daily

Punk rock band, Green Day's 2004 song, "American Idiot", is climbing in sales as a social media campaign has pushed it to appear on British top 100 in protest of President Trump's visit to the UK this Friday.. "American Idiot" has already reached number one on Google Play. Chart Data reports, Green Day's song re-entered the UK top 20. As of today "American Idiot" is in top THREE on UK iTunes.The campaign sports the name: "Get American Idiot to No. 1 for Trump's UK Visit" and has been circulating on social media almost since the beginning of Trump's presidency. It began with a different name, ending with "state" visit, but the title was changed from a formal "State Visit" to "working visit". As the title insinuates, the social media based campaign is set out to advocate a musical, humorous, and peaceful protest against the harsh policies supported and put into place by President Trump. "American Idiot" was released in a trying American time, in the midst of the Iraq war and President W. Bush's second term. The campaign calls for those interested to download, stream, or view on YouTube from July 6th through July 12th 11:59 p.m. The page posted the best ways to contribute:

This music protest is only one of many planned protests by Brits. Rallies expected to draw 50k protesters and a 20- foot blimp with Trump as a bare chested, diaper sporting baby might cause a bit of ruckus. Based off the current stats, it looks that every thing will go according to plan.​ For more information on the campaign, head over to "Get American Idiot to No. 1 for Trump's UK Visit" .

Whitney Houston's 2015 biopic will finally be replaced by a documentary, revealing rare footage and real, raw truths of the tragedy of Houston's life and passing in ​Whitney.Like many documentaries, Whitney was originally shown at Festival de Cannes. During the time, Kevin Macdonald, aimed to show Whitney in a different light: one that does not depict her as American sweetheart turned self-destructive star. According to "Vanity Fair" Macdonald felt there was more to the story and treated the film as a mystery to uncover. The documentary will highlight Houston's family life that was filled with abuse and and corruption during her traumatic childhood. It takes viewers through the deep seated issues Whitney suffered through that she never shared with her mother out of fear. To spare spoilers, Houston's family and others she had connections with share their accounts of Whitney's life and experiences up to her final moments.

Yaya DaCosta in "Whitney) (2015)

The unfortunate biopic Whitney (2015), that starred America's Next Top Model​ 's Yaya DaCosta, aired on "Lifetime" in 2015. While DaCosta embodied Houston's mannerisms almost perfectly, the script was not so great and was said to have inconsistencies and holes in the story line. The biggest controversy at the time was the fact that the 2015 biopic, depicted Bobby Brown in a sympathetic light, when the general public saw him as the demon who corrupted the angel.Whitney (2018) will be out in theaters this Friday, July 6th.

Further controversy: Kanye West's album cover for Ye is reportedly a photo of Houston's bathroom sink close to the time of her passing. The family was "deeply hurt" by the photo, however, this documentary is sure to show tougher imagery and footage.

Actress Ashley Bell (The Last Exorcism), produced documentary on Asian elephant abuse, Love and Bananas: An Elephant Story. Bell was inspired to create the documentary after being invited to the elephant sanctuary in Thailand, Bell saw the horrors of deforestation of the elephant’s environment were poachers have a strong reign, she learned there are less than 50,000 Asian elephants alive today, and she saw the beating these poor animals receive just to perform tricks. The rest of the documentary follows Bell and Thai conservationist Sangdeaun Lek Chailert on a mission to rescue a 70-year-old nearly blind elephant. Together they try to adopt this animal from its cruel abusive company known as “elephant trek.” They succeed in the adoption and drive 500 miles back to the sanctuary. The journey was long and hard but seeing the complete transformation of this sweet animal was well worth it. But giving rides isn’t the only thing wrong with this picture.

Elephants have been beloved creatures throughout various cultures. In America we have them on baby clothes and nursery room walls, we have stuffed animals, movies about how cute they are, and tons of elephant accessories. In Asian cultures, the elephant is seen as a deity and even worshiped as such. It’s funny how humans express their love over all these things but in the same breath don’t care that real elephants are being hunted to near extinction for their ivory. Not only that but elephants face abuse and neglect in zoos, circuses, and shows worldwide. In fact, some people in Asian cultures and other places around the world find it ironic that the elephant is seen as a deity, but real ones are chained, beaten, starved, and separated from their families just so they can give rides and be in festivals/shows.

Image of elephant abuse from themindunleashed.com

​ Let’s not forget the hypocrisy around how elephants are so endangered that we need to keep them alive but if a rich person wants to kill them for fun then it’s A-Okay. This is like the Jennifer Price satirical essay, "The Plastic Pink Flamingos, A Natural History". Price talks about how flamingos are a sign of wealth and how tourists love going to Florida to see them, but back in the 1800s Floridians practically hunted them to near extinction. Elephants are killed for their ivory for decorative objects but also because of the myths of them being healing objects when the same stuff in ivory is found in your fingernails. If you love the elephant so much then actually do something such as refusing to buy any ivory, protest, petition, donate, share videos online, anything to show you really do care.

Have you ever been separated from your siblings at birth, only to discover they exist decades into your life? Me either. In the documentary film, Three Identical Strangers, three brother's had no idea they had siblings at all until later in their lives, after they have lived separate lives.​ Two of the three, Robert Shafran and Eddy Galland, did not know of each other until their college years in the 80s when they met by accident. The third, David Kellman read an article about the two, and determined that he may have been the third sibling. The three, of course, began to question how this happened and why. Their parents were not told about the other two children and the families raising the other boys did not know about the others.The story made national headlines in the 80s, but was brought back to light at the Sundance film festival last year through a series of archived footage and modern interviews in the film. The film, Three Identical Strangers will be released in theaters this Friday, June 29th.

When you play with humans, you do something [very] wrong." - audio: Trailer

At the time, public focus was on the miracle of the brothers reuniting, versus the grim truth their "adoptions". The film brought questions and concerns about genetics and disturbing human experiments in the name of silence. There have been other stories involving strange experiments to understand twins. They all share one thing in common: the subjects were totally unaware. The film, The Twinning Reaction was released last year at the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival and focused on, as the title suggests, a set of twins who were separated at birth as a result of the failed 1960s Neubauer-Bernard study. To spare any spoilers, the trailer for Three Identical Strangers ​is available to view now.

Pawn Star’sRichard Harrison aka Old Man sadly passed away today at age 77. Harrison was the owner of the Gold and Silver Pawn Shopand ran it with his son Rick and grandson Corey. Harrison had retired from the Navy and moved to Vegas, Nevada in 1981 after he failed to make it into the real estate business and then opened the shop with his son Rick back in 1988. Harrison was beloved by the fans of the show and his family as well. He was a loyal family man who cared about the business, his son, grand kids, and his great-grandchild. He passed peacefully while surrounded by his family and friends who have wished for their privacy during this time. Despite failing once in real estate, he did see his $10,000 investment of his pawn shop grow into a multi-million dollar industry with the help of History Channel’s reality TV show of him and his family running the shop. The idea of the show came from Rick who worked hard to get the idea of his business to be on TV. Pawn Stars was eventually created and aired its first season back in 2009 and has been aired for fifteen seasons so far.

In fact, there are more than 500 episodes to watch. After the 500th episode the shop reportedly went from having about 70 customers a day to thousands. To handle the demand the shop went from 10 employees to 50. Other than the famous Harrison trio another character on the show who everyone knows, and loves is Austin Russell aka Chumlee. Chumlee is adored by fans across the country and is known to be the comedic of the group. The show taught people the history of some objects brought in, hard work, family and friend relationship, and many more. Old Man Harrison will truly be missed by his family and friends and the whole Pawn Star community.

The first reboot was in 2000 with, Double Dare 2000, which had 67 episodes that year and was hosted by Jason Harris.

For this edition of Flashback Friday, I took a trip way down memory lane. As I was scrolling through the kids movie section, I came across a movie that was definitely a gem back in 2001. One of the best shows to be released by Nickelodeon had its film debut, which changed many of our lives forever: The animated adventure comedyJimmy Neutron: Boy Genius premiered on December of 2001. The movie being named after the main and most brilliant character of the cast, Jimmy Neutron.

As I watched the film, it honestly made me feel like a complete kid again. Once the theme song was played and I sang it word for word, I knew I was all in. Director John Davis did a great job and had major help from the cast. I was reacting to the movie as if it was my first time watching it. Debi Derryberry brought the main character, Jimmy Neutron, to brainiac life. She is also responsible for many other childhood characters that we loved so much from the 90s tv shows. She had various voice over roles on shows such as: Johnny Bravo (1997), CatDog (1998), Grim and Evil (2001-02), The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius (2002-06) and a lot more. The voices behind Jimmy’s close friends Carl, Sheen, Cindy, and Libby were a part of our childhoods as well.

The voice of Carl Wheezer was done by Rob Paulsen, who has been in many of our childhood favorites. Paulsen is known for his various roles in shows like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(1987-1995),Bobby’s World (1990-1998), Animaniacs(1993-1998), and even Dexter's Laboratory(1996-2003). Sheen Estevez was the voice of Jeffrey Garcia who has been in the animated films Happy Feet (2006) and Rio (2011). The voice of Cindy Vortex was done by Carolyn Lawrence, who was also the voice of our favorite Bikini Bottom Texan, Sandy Cheeks. The voice of Libby Folfax was done by Crystal Scales, who has done voice overs on shows such as Static Shock (2000-04), As Told By Ginger (2000-01), and Rocket Power (2002).

The film definitely filled my night with nostalgia and great laughs. If you’re looking for something random to watch this is definitely a good choice. The movie will bring back great memories and make you feel young again,at least for an hour and 20 minutes. If this review hasn't inspired to go and watch the film, maybe the theme song will bring back some memories for you.

Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan teased and released the trailer for the Rocky franchise the Apollo Creed sequel, Creed II.This film’s trailer is out now, but the film will not hit theaters until November 21st of this year. It opens with Adonis Johnson, portrayed by Jordan, falling to the mat, out cold. Throughout the length of the trailer pieces Kendrick Lamar's song, DNA plays, adding drama to intense acting as viewers have seen from Jordan before. It also shows a glimpse of Tessa Thompson, as Bianca, who starred in the first Creed. In the first film, it was discovered that Rocky’s former friend/rival Apollo Creed had an illegitimate son, Adonis Johnson. Johnson himself had lost his mother at an early age and would always end up in trouble until one day Creed’s wife found him and told him who his birth father was. She took him in and began to raise Johnson as her own son and eventually he wanted to become a boxer like Creed. Johnson moves to Philadelphia and seeks out Rocky Balboa to train him. At first, Rocky is hesitant and even encourages Johnson to not pursue his late father’s career but eventually agreed to train him. When word about Johnson being Creed’s son came out more doors opened in the boxing world, but he would have to don the name Creed in order to take on fights; especially with the world champion. The film ended with Johnson taking his father’s mantle and becoming the new lightweight champion. In this new film, Adonis Creed is training with Rocky to face his biggest and most personal rival yet when he must step in the ring with Viktor Drago, the son of Ivan Drago, the man who killed Apollo Creed.

With mental health awareness is gaining speed, the World Health Organization has recognized "gaming disorder" as mental health issue in the 11th issue of the ICD, or the "International Classification of Diseases". "Gaming disorder" falls under the category of "Disorders due to substance abuse or Addictive Behaviour". To some it may sound ridiculous, but it could be very real.

WHO, however, states in the ICD that the "disorder" can only be determined after a 12 month period of continuous behavior such as, "impaired control over gaming", and "gaming takes precedence over other life interests". According to CNN, Dr. Vladimir Poznyak, a member of WHO's Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse, states explained the possibility of a person having the condition is very low, due to the realistic severity of the problem, "Millions of gamers around the world, even when it comes to intense gaming, would never qualify as someone with gaming disorder". Dr. Poznyak also wanted to make it clear that there was no agenda in mind when suggesting the disorder, but to at least show the disorder is at the very least, a possibility. The behavior the ICD refers to is essentially common to the argument of parents: an argument that has continuously been shot down. Parents have expressed concerns on violent games that create violent children, decrease in empathy, and disconnect with reality, etc, but to the extreme where some have tried to ban a certain genre of video games. The simple fix in some people's mind is to simply not allow the child to play the game, or be more involved in their daily lives.

July 4th, the American Independence Day, marked on calendars as a national holiday. Banks are closed and patriots line up at firecracker stands. Some may not know that July 4th, 1776 only marked the freedom of white Americans from the monarchy. June 19th, roughly a century later, was the day the remaining slaves were free in America.
